Abstract

This article examines the concept of women’s leadership within the framework of Islamic law, with a focus on the intersection between normative foundations and contemporary realities. Historically, discussions on imāmah al-mar’ah (female leadership) were dominated by classical jurists, whose interpretations often reflected the patriarchal structures and socio-political contexts of their time. However, with the evolution of modern Muslim societies and the rise of gender justice discourse, these interpretations require renewed contextualization. Using a qualitative-descriptive method through library research and comparative textual analysis, this study examines the arguments of prominent classical scholars such as al-Māwardī, Ibn Ḥazm, and al-Ghazālī, alongside contemporary reformists including Fazlur Rahman and Amina Wadud. The analysis employs hermeneutical reasoning and the maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah framework to explore the flexibility of Islamic legal interpretation. The findings reveal three key points. First, classical prohibitions on women’s leadership were more sociological than theological, rooted in historical contexts rather than immutable divine injunctions. Second, when assessed through the lens of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah,women’s leadership aligns with the higher objectives of justice (al-‘adl), benefit (maṣlaḥah), and human dignity. Third, contemporary interpretations suggest a shift from gender-based exclusion to competence- and morality-based inclusion, enabling greater participation by women in political, social, and religious leadership. The study’s academic contribution lies in proposing a maqāṣid-based reinterpretation model that bridges textual orthodoxy with modern gender realities. This framework enriches Islamic legal scholarship by demonstrating that Shariah is not static butadaptive, capable of supporting egalitarian leadership principles that respond to the ethical and social demands of the modern era.

Abstract

This study examines the application of fiqh tolerance in State Islamic Higher Education Institutions (PTKIN) within the context of contemporary challenges. The research focuses on student responses to religious extremism in Indonesia, which has become increasingly relevant in the era of digital media and globalization. This field study uses data collection methods, including interviews and documentation. Three key findings emerged from this study. First, most students firmly reject religious extremism, although a minority still supports it due to misinformation and the influence of narratives spread through digital media. Second, extremist recruitment strategies in PTKIN are carried out through religious activities, social media, and the dissemination of extremist ideologies through various channels, such as books, journals, and financial support, which have become more sophisticated using information technology. Third, preventive measures involve strengthening academic and non-academic understanding, including integrating religious moderation values into the curriculum, conducting seminars and training, and empowering student organizations to build resilience against extremism within the PTKIN environment. The academic contribution of this study lies in aligning fiqh tolerance with contemporary challenges, particularly in dealing with digital-based extremism, which has become more complex. This research offers a new perspective by integrating religious and social approaches to raise collective awareness among students at PTKIN. Furthermore, the findings enrich academic discourse by providing concrete recommendations for strengthening curricula based on religious moderation and developing adaptive preventive strategies in response to social and technological changes. This makes the study theoretically and practically relevant in creating a more inclusive and resilient higher education environment.
